It has been a while! I apologize for the disappearing act! Last year I went back to school and it overran my life! Due to some family emergencies, I have decided to take this semester off so I can help out as much as possible.

I also decided, it was time to stop neglecting my poor little blog and start adding tutorials again.

So without further ado… A Trash to Treasure Tutorial!

Have you ever looked at all those boxes and tins that come with products and think “I cant throw that in the trash!?” Well I do, in fact I have a huge collection and a mission to do something with them.

In this tutorial I used an old metal band aid box to make an adorable little pom pom box. You can do this with anything. In fact, I am making another one out of a Tin that Tea came in.

Remember when Band-Aid boxes were made of tin!?

I know all the collectors out there are shuddering right now, but I have more than one.

Keep adding…

Then ..

TA-DA!! A cute puffy little Pom Pom box.

A perfect bank, storage solution or gift box.

This is the Pom Pom pattern I used

What do you think!?

If you make one, I would LOVE to see it, feel free to post pics in comments!

4 out of 5 read-ologists recommend this WordPress.com site. ups and downs of writer's insanity and day to day life. I will write whatever makes the voices happy, for a writer that ignores her inner voices is merely a mental breakdown waiting to happen. Keeping the voices happy and creating new worlds for them to play in is my main goal.
